Newport Point Surf Report and Surf forecast

Located in Northern Orange County, Southern California, Newport Point is a world-class stretch of beach break (yes the name is misleading) that thunders over a sand bottom. The wave is legendary, and very well known ever since Surfer Magazine published “The Day Pipeline Came to Newport”. Those who have surfed it when good know that this is not a misplaced comparison.
